66 new Pierce County COVID-19 cases, 1 new death confirmed October 13

October 13, 2020 By Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department

On Oct. 13, we confirmed 66 new COVID-19 cases and 1 new death: a woman in her 60s from Puyallup with underlying health conditions. 

Our totals are 8,690 cases and 182 deaths.  

We have reported 828 cases in the last 14 days. Our 14-day case rate per 100,000 is 91.8. Our average cases per day over the last 14 days is 59.1. 

With the 6-day data lag, our case rate is at 81.0 per 100,000. The data lag helps to ensure accuracy and is a required element of Safe Start metrics for movement into phases and other re-opening requirements, such as schools. 

The 20-39 age group comprise the highest number of COVID-19 cases at 37.8% % of total cases in the last two weeks. 

Those under 20 make up 11.1% of the total number of cases and 14% of cases in the past 2 weeks. 

If you have symptoms or may have had contact with someone who has COVID-19, please get tested!
